On line source for rules?

[jemiller]

You guys get this stuff so fast...is there an on line rule source to look up some of these questions? I would like to cite chapter and verse, but it would be nice if there is a searchable resource....Thanks for your help and information. Jim

NCAA's is on line (search NCAA rulebook and then pick your sports), but the searching is not always easy - you have to have some familiarity with the book.

If you are a full member of the NF you have access to the rule book online.

You can D/L the .pdf of the NCAA Rule book from here,
NCAA Publications - 2009-10 NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations (2 Year Publication)

The officials in the UK have it online ( British American Football Association ) and they have the approved rulings shuffled in after each Rule which is very convenient.

They are 99.9% identical to the NCAA rules with a few minor changes to allow for UK specific things, e.g. 90yd fields. Simply click on the Rule number link for direct online access or click on the PDF tag to open a pdf.

What is the deal iwth the NF. I tried to see the late editorial changes and corrections to the rule and casebooks but apparently you need full member access. They should at least make that available to all officials.
